    Hey there

    Recently started the ESPM1 kit build, so far so good. Mock up was okay, I think, sanding was okay I hope and am currently staining using the Dingotone Black stump. Should have the final, final coat done in a couple if weeks on the body and front of headstock we'll see if that goes okay later, then I can start on the neck finish. Using all the resources here to help and trying to video the build, waiting til the end to take some stills and hopefully record something to hear it as well as see it.

    Thanks Dedman, don't know about under control, The manual is excellent and with the videos all questions have been covered, so far it's all been a lot of fun.

    Thanks FrankenWashie, good to be aboard, while there's been a DSLR or GoPro pointed at me all the time so far, I haven't done any stills, I've seen quite a few of the builds so far and you have some very creative people here. If mine is half as good as some of you guys guitars, I'll be happy.
